Release Body: Surviving infidelity in their marriage has certainly
put relationship coaches Doug and Chris Young into
the spotlight. They’ve attracted huge media attention in the
UK since facing massive challenges 25 years into their marriage,
overcoming them and coming out of it much stronger.
‘We’ve really been amazed at the amount of publicity
that we’ve received’ said Chris. ‘It
all started when I was contacted by a journalist who wanted to take
our story about surviving extra marital affairs to one on the national
newspapers. That has led to a string of very high profile articles
in newspapers and magazines and a number of interviews on prime
time national TV’.
Their
story started when Doug confessed to Chris that he had been unfaithful
to her repeatedly throughout their 25 marriage, including a number
of one night stands and an 18 month affair with Chris’s best
friend.
‘We
were at a relationship seminar at the time and I just knew that
the time was right to finally be honest and give Chris the choice
on whether to stay with me or not.’ admits Doug.
Amazingly
Chris decided to forgive Doug and the couple have worked through
it all and come out of it with much stronger marriage and relationship
than they ever had before.
‘Of
course it wasn’t easy’, says Chris ‘being
relationship coaches ourselves I suppose we were in a stronger position
than most to deal with it but what we found was that when it happens
to you it’s a whole new ball game. The most difficult part
was that although there were plenty of other relationship coaches
and counsellors offering their support to us none of them really
knew what we were going through’.
‘Only
couples who’ve been though extra marital affairs themselves,
survived it and come out of it stronger can really appreciate what
you go through and what it takes’.
‘Having
come through our own crisis we thought , well as there’s no
one out there offering help who’s got first hand experience
on surviving infidelity why don’t we become those people.
And so now we’ve turned our attention to doing just that.’
‘People
constantly tell us that according to the statistics 80% of partners
wouldn’t consider staying with a partner who’s cheated
on them’ says
Doug, ‘so the way we look at it that means there are 20% that
we can help.
